Desktop Profile accidentally changed to 18+, turned it off, getting server errors & locked profile. [UK](Desktop)
Accidentally made profile 18+. Went to immediately turn it back off, with the disclaimer. Settings show it 'off'. Everytime I click top-right avatar for menu, I get "We encountered a server error" red banner. My profile picture has been erased, which I've had for around 14 years (which I'd like back if possible). My profile still seems to act as though it's 18+.
In the UK. Reddit compliance with OSA requires age verification. I do not wish to complete age verification as UK OSA mechanisms are rife with cybersecurity issues and data breaches (E.g Discord - which uses Persona, the very one that Reddit uses).
Noticed that u/TheOpusCroakus helped some people ~1 year ago in another thread. Hoping this can be rectified š
